The staff made us feel so welcome. They are friendly, professional people who go out of their way to make sure that your stay is enjoyable. The rooms are very nice, the beds are comfortable and everything is spotlessly clean. The food (dinner and breakfast) was fantastic and very well presented.

We had a self catering cottage with very good facilities. As we arrived quite late (9 pm) it was no problem to check in. The garden is very nice and the location very close to Addo Elephant.

De Old Drift Guest Farm takes special requests! Add in the next step – get instant confirmation when you book.

Only a customer who has booked through Booking.com and stayed at the property in question can write a review. This allows us to verify that our reviews come from real guests like you. Who better to tell others about the free breakfast, friendly staff, or their comfortable room than someone who’s stayed at the property?

We want you to share your story, with both the good and the not-so-good. All we ask is that you follow a few simple guidelines.

Tips for writing a great review

Give us details. People love to hear about the little things. Was the air conditioning working? Was there a chocolate on your pillow? We like long reviews, so you should try to write at least 50 words.

Be candid. Give us your honest opinion. We’ll never remove a review just because it’s negative. We promise.

Be relevant. The best reviews provide constructive information that helps other travelers make better choices. Stay on topic and avoid content that others might find offensive.

Sometimes we'll remove reviews if they include any of the following:

Objectionable material. This includes insulting or discriminatory remarks, swearing, or other offensive language.

Private information. To protect your (and others') privacy we do not display reviews that include email addresses or phone numbers.

Sensitive information. We don't display reviews that contain information with possible legal implications. This includes references to suspected illegal conduct or allusions to lost or stolen items. In such sensitive cases, please contact our Customer Service Team, who will be happy to help.

Irrelevant topics. This includes promotional content and politically sensitive subjects.

In some rare cases, neither the written review nor the review score can be displayed. This only happens if:

Key information is missing. A few review questions are mandatory. If these aren’t answered, we aren't able to calculate a fair review score, so we can't display the review.

You didn’t stay at the property. When necessary, we’ll confirm this information with both you and the property owner.

You made a mistake. Everyone makes mistakes. We won’t post yours. If you reviewed a different property from the one you booked, let us know. We can fix it so that your review shows with the right property.

The review is a fake. If there's any indication that a review is not authentic or is in any way fraudulent, it will be flagged during the moderation process.

We had three nights and certain items were not automatically replaced; however, after bringing this to the attention of staff, this was speedily done. We had two evening meals which I found disappointing. I would have preferred far simpler food (especially as this is a three star guest farm).

Rooms are very spacious. The breakfast were delicious. Lovely pool. Staff friendly and always willing to help.

Delightful Chalet for a couple.
Clean, huge bed, great heating & air conditioning, good security, quiet.

The apartment was spacious with a fully equiped self catering unit, which was above our expectation. The apartment was booked for a honeymoon couple, and the reception went out of the way to make the room look nice with rose petals etc...

The room was already a bit worn, the room service didn't do their work properly on the second day, the staff (we only saw one young lady) was pretty reserved and we found the breakfast very expensive (and we didn't take it).

The room was well appointed and the area was nice and well taken care of.

Nothing but your own transport is a must as quite remote

The location was ideal to visit Adoo National Park. Also if travelling would be an ideal place to Chill for a few daysas location was idyllicon a working citrus farm located on the Sunday River, the layout,gardens and pool are perfect to relax by. The owners and staff were very helpful and arranged an excellent guided visit to Addo withCrisscross adventure
